Dynamo Dresden and Arminia Bielefeld missed out on an escape in the race to stay in the Bundesliga 2. The promoted teams drew 1:1 (1:0) in the basement duel. Christoph Daferner put the hosts ahead with a header after 43 minutes in front of 30,840 spectators. Substitute Tim Handwerker (63) equalized with a penalty. Dynamo's Robert Wagner (90.+1) was shown a yellow card in stoppage time.
Dynamo coach Thomas Stamm had to do without director Niklas Hauptmann, who was ill. That was noticeable. In the first half, the home side's play lacked creativity and system. Instead, Arminia put their stamp on the game. Very high pressing and quick switching from all parts of the team took the danger out of Dynamo's play from the outset.
